"It's already this late, why are you still pretending to be so high and mighty?"

Bai Zhu sneered and reached out to grab Xu Younian's neck.

"Sir Shangshu, why don't you tell me the truth about why you assassinated the Crown Prince's Consort, so that I can give you a quick death."

Xu Younian's head had just hit the rock and his face was covered in blood. He raised his head and looked at Shen Xuanheng through his messy hair. He smelled a hint of death from his cold eyes.

He knew that he would die today no matter what.

"Hehehe."

Xu Younian laughed sinisterly several times, "Your Highness, I will never tell you the reason even if I die. And don't think you have won. The Crown Prince's wife will go with me to the underworld."

"What did you say?"

Shen Xuanheng's face changed in shock. He quickly walked up to Xu Younian, tugged at his collar, and said sternly, "Speak clearly, what's going on?"

Xu Younian's mouth was bleeding, and he laughed crazily, "The Crown Prince's Consort is meddling in other people's business. She insisted on being a living Bodhisattva to cure people of wolfsbane sores. Before coming to Chaomu Mountain today, I had someone pretend to be a relative of the patient with wolfsbane sores, trick her out of the city and kill her. If you go down the mountain now, maybe her body will still be warm."

Shen Xuanheng was shocked and angry, his fists were clenched so hard that they made a crackling sound.

"Kill him! Let's go down the mountain!"

Upon hearing this, Bai Zhu raised his hand to smash Xu Younian's head, but at this moment his face suddenly turned pale and he spat out a mouthful of blood. The internal energy in his body was blocked, and this feeling of discomfort was very familiar.

"Poisonous miasma!"

Bai Zhu suddenly looked towards the cage that was tilted under the tree, and saw Zhao Qiankun, whose bones should have been broken, sitting cross-legged inside, looking at them sinisterly.

"You! Are your bones healed?"

Bai Zhu showed an expression of disbelief. You know, he had already crushed most of Zhao Qiankun's bones. Even if his medical skills were great, he couldn't move a finger.

How come he recovered in just a few days?

"puff!"

Shen Xuanheng's face turned pale and he spat out a mouthful of blood. The Pecking Bird Meridian in his body attacked and the poison suppressed in his body mixed with the poison from the miasma quickly counterattacked.

"His Royal Highness!"

Bai Zhu threw Xu Younian to the ground with force, then quickly supported him.

Zhao Qiankun stretched out his hand with a smile and picked up a knife from the side of the cage. He swung the knife hard at the wooden cage a few times and broke out of the cage.

"I was able to recover so quickly, thanks to that stupid woman called the female supporting role in your Zhennan Palace. I taught her how to make the black jade paste that can heal bones and tendons, and she recovered from her injuries in just a few days. How about it, are you surprised? Are you surprised?"

Xu Younian had already accepted his fate, but when he saw this, he suddenly felt that things had taken a turn for the better. He tried to struggle to get up, but suddenly his breathing became stagnant and he spat out a mouthful of blood.

Xu Younian quickly looked at Zhao Qiankun, "Zhao Qiankun, help me get rid of the poison. If you help me kill these two people today, I will definitely reward you handsomely in the future."

"Noisy."

Zhao Qiankun frowned, revealing an impatient look. He suddenly raised his foot and stepped on Xu Younian's head. With a "pop", Xu Younian's head split like a watermelon.

Bai Zhu couldn't mobilize any internal energy at this moment, and his body's strength was constantly draining away. Shen Xuanheng's condition was even worse. His face was as pale as paper, and his breath was weak, as if he was about to die at any time.

Zhao Qiankun looked at Bai Zhu and rubbed his hands excitedly.

"The Grandmaster's martial arts are unparalleled, so enviable. I have dissected many people alive, but I have never tried to dissect a Grandmaster. Today, I want to see what the difference is between a Grandmaster's body and that of an ordinary person, and how he can be so strong!"

Shen Xuanheng raised his head with difficulty after hearing this, and said intermittently: "Let's go, don't worry about me."

Bai Zhu's eyes widened in anger, "How can that be possible? You have done me such a great favor. If I abandon you now, wouldn't I be a traitor?"

Bai Zhu looked at Zhao Qiankun and said, "Your target is me, so why not let His Royal Highness leave?"

Zhao Qiankun shook his head and squinted his eyes and said, "That won't do. If he leaves, and if he survives, he will definitely cut me into pieces."

As he spoke, Zhao Qiankun took out an exquisite knife from his arms.

"Before I dissect you, I will practice on this prince."

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhao Qiankun held the dagger and stabbed it into Shen Xuanheng's heart.

"Sir!"

Bai Zhu's eyes were about to burst out, but he was so weak that he couldn't even lift his arms. He could only watch the tragedy happen.

"No!"

Xue Tao coughed up blood, feeling poisoned, and cried out in fear.

At the critical moment, several cold lights shot out from the direction of the mountain road. Zhao Qiankun was unable to avoid them and several silver needles pierced his arm.

"who!"

"The person who killed you."

On the rocky mountain road, a thin figure with fluttering clothes and cold eyes appeared.

……

Half an hour ago.

As the sun was setting, Zhu and his son drove their carriage out of the capital.

In the carriage, Su Xuqing lifted the curtain and took a look. The dim sunset was very beautiful. She wished her husband was here too.

Thinking of this, Su Xuqing suddenly remembered that Shen Xuanheng had gone to settle accounts with Xu Younian today. She didn't know if there was a result at the moment, but she hoped that he didn't encounter any trouble.

Yinhuan was holding the medical box and looking out the window when he suddenly exclaimed "Huh".

Su Xuqing glanced at her and asked softly, "What's wrong?"

Yinhuan blinked and said, "They seem to be coming out from the west of the city. Isn't Shitou Village, my hometown, the next twenty miles down this road?"

At this point, Yinhuan suddenly frowned and muttered, "But there is no family with the surname Zhu in our village."

Hearing this, Su Xuqing suddenly had a bad feeling in her heart. She quickly made a "hush" sound, signaling Yinhuan not to speak.

Yinhuan didn't understand, but just kept her mouth shut.

The carriage was shaking. Su Xu cleared her throat and said in a casual and gentle tone, "You two, which village is ahead of here?"

The middle-aged man outside the carriage smiled and replied, "It's Stone Village."

"Shitou Village. My family has a maid whose hometown is Shitou Village. Her father is called Li Er. He is in the village now. I wonder if you recognize her."

Zhu's father and son looked at each other, then stretched out their tone and said, "Yes, there is such a person. We saw him a few days ago, but we are not familiar with him and have no intersection with him."

After these words were spoken, even Yinhuan's expression changed.

Li Er had been driving a carriage in the Prince of Zhennan's Palace since he recovered, and he had not returned to Shitou Village for a long time. But these two people actually said that they had seen him a few days ago. Isn't this nonsense!

There is definitely something wrong with these two people!

"lady."

Yinhuan looked at Su Xuqing anxiously.

Su Xuqing rolled her eyes slightly, signaling her to be quiet, then took out some herbs from the medical box and mixed them together.
